A Texas school district is reviewing a sixth-grade assignment that had students make a step-by-step plan showing how cocaine gets from a drug cartel to a street dealer.
KTVT-TV reports that a teacher in Keller, northeast of Fort Worth, gave out a science class assignment called “The Cocaine Trade: From Field to Street.”
Parent Scott Pick says he contacted administrators after his 11-year-old son brought home the study sheet for an assignment on “Following a Sequence.” He says he felt it was “a diagram of how to become a drug dealer.”
Administrators issued a statement Monday saying the assignment “will be reviewed before being considered for future use,” adding that the district will continue efforts to regularly “review, remind, and revise drug educational material.”

It’s frightening not knowing everything that goes on in a school these days. This was just one a parent who was paying attention brought to the attention of the media.
I’m so glad I don’t have kids in public school. If they weren’t home schooled I’d be in there daily likely bitchin at the principal and teachers.
You can become a hi class drug dealer, just go to Medical School where you can get a certificate to become a legal drug dealer and man made drugs do not cure disease.
In school, they should have a class on attitude and money management.
I don’t have kids and am 64 years old. I am constantly infuriated with the curriculum that I am forced to pay for. In WIsconsin we had ebonics where white kids learned to talk like a thug!
Islam is taught and Christianity isn’t. There are so many examples I can’t even begin listing.
Yet the kids by 12th grade don’t have the basic education that I had by the 6th grade!
